When you are planning the arrival of baby we research everything. Especially this last time. I looked into everything. Except wipes. I had looked into diapers, detergents, and even lotions and creams. So why when researching everything that would touch my precious baby’s skin did I not research wipes.
I’ve bought the so called sensitive wipes. They are supposed to be easy on the skin and gentle. Honestly, until I tried these I thought they were. Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby Wipes are just that- free & clear. Free & Clear of fragrances and dyes. Free & Clear of parabens and pthalates. They are hypoallergenic and made with renewable resources.
Sensitive little bottoms demand extra TLC at changing time. New and improved Free & Clear Baby Wipes combine gentle, cloth-like performance with the thickness you need to wipe away little (and big) messes. As always, our baby wipes are free of alcohol, dyes, synthetic fragrances, parabens and phthalates. Keep a spare pack handy for clean-up on the go. You’ll love the way the generously sized wipes handle meal-time spills, grubby hands, muddy feet and everything in-between!
Don’t let that fool you though. These wipes are tough. They stay wet. They do the job. In fact, they’ve done every job I’ve thrown at them. They’ve wipes down dirty bottoms but they’ve also wiped down dirty faces, dirty hands, dirty strollers, well anything and everything dirty that has needed wiping down. They are tough enough to do it all yet still soft enough for the day you welcome your little one into the world.
One of the things I really like about these wipes is that they really are free of all things stinky and sticky. I hate how it feels when you wipe your hands with a regular wipes. You end up still wishing you had access to water because it leaves a film on your hand. I also like knowing it doesn’t do that to my son’s face and leave that taste on his lips. These wipes are thick and soft and well, our new brand of wipes.
I know you want to give these awesome wipes, how about a box full!

Enjoy them while you can!!! That’s the BEST baby care tip. Because before you know it, they’ll be 30.
Oh, and don’t sweat the small stuff. You’ll never remember if they had on matching jeans/tshirt/shoes, etc ten years from now.
Hold them while can!
Try to be calm as much as possible. Getting worked up never is helpful. If you are calm, you can think clearly about how to deal with unexpected situations. And it transfers calmness to the baby too!
my tip is baby proof . anything down low and also anything a little high my son always reaches for stuff so were always baby proofing.
Enjoy and accept your child….always. Set your home and their life up to be safe so you can relax knowng the really dangerous accidents aren’t going to happen on your watch!
Baby proof & keep wipes everywhere, they come in handy 🙂
I was thinking of making my own wipes but haven’t done it yet. I wonder how the two would compare.
Sleep when you can!
Get your rest, and enjoy every moment while it last!
I love using coconut oil on their skin, for rashes or moisture.
Use a good moisturizing lotion for your baby’s skin
I say always pack two changes of clothes!
Enjoy them, they grow up so fast. Make lots of memories.
Keep a small diaper station in your bedroom and the living room. Not just in the babies room. It is really handy to to have a stash of diapers and wipes and other related items at your side where ever you happen to be in the house when a stinky diaper happens. Especially if the babies room is upstairs and you are downstairs….it is a real pain to have to climb stairs just to change a diaper!!
Always carry a spare set of clothing. Always. Even for the quickest trips.
Don’t take everything so seriously. Have a sense of humor.
Never leave home without an extra pacifier. It can be a lifesaver!
Buy a few extra loveys (baby’s favorite stuffed animal or blanket) while you can find them!
Use diaper cream around the neck, under arms, or in any creases to avoid skin breakdown.
Thanks!

Keep Lotrimin around for the diaper rashes that don’t go away with normal treatments.
PATIENCE is IMPORTANT!
Use a natural all in one body wash/shampoo for your baby. It’s so much easier!
always remember to have patience and enjoy them the best you can because they grow so fast
I would love to try these! Thanks!
Baby (or mommy) care tip- sleep when your baby does, if at all possible! It will make baby and mommy happier.
take lots of pictures, and let some of your housecleaning standards go, its not worth stressing about
Always have a favorite toy on hand, and don’t stress out- it just stresses them out and makes for a crabby baby!

soak up every moment!! even the gross ones!
sometimes is good to let the baby air dry
Enjoy the babies while they are still babies! Time flies!
I’m due next month with my first, so I don’t have any tips, but would love to win these!
Keep a change of clothes and a diaper & wipes in the car at all times!
Breast feed is you can!
I followed the boy scout motto – always be prepared. When I didn’t have the extra supplies was always when I needed them!
Keep a change of clothes in the diaper bag – for YOU!
Find an intriguing toy that keeps the baby’s interest and only bring it out at diaper changes–helps to keep him/her still.

The best diaper rash medicine around is “Corona” (not the beer!). It is purchased in the horse care section of your local feed store or even Walmart. Works like a charm!
Plan ahead and be ready for anything
My baby care tip is to just go with it and try not to control everything.
Relax and let them explore 🙂 and also, using oatmeal in their bath water when they get bad diaper rashes.
when washing a small infant skip the washcloth and use your hand to lather them and rinse. They will enjoy the skin to skin contact
Amber teething necklaces work wonders! Nothing seemed to help my daughter when she was teething, until I got her one. She wore it as a necklace most of the time, while attended by me, but during playtime, when I wasn’t right there, I would wrap it around her ankle. I didn’t need to give her tylenol or teething tablets after using it!
Rub baby oil on baby’s head to help with cradle cap.
Using coconut oil as a moisturizer or as a diaper rash ointment on your baby works wonderfully. Smells great too!
Don’t bathe your baby every day! It will dry out their skin! Instead just use a wet washcloth to wipe them down.
Definitely apply lotion twice a day, babies lose moisture faster than adults!
Keep Q-tips around – they have so many uses!
The dishes and laundry can wait. Enjoy your baby because they grow up too quickly.
always carry an extra set or two of clothes with you
Taking time out for yourself makes you a happier mother
Nap when baby naps
Put on lotion all over body after bath
Don’t feel guilty doing something special for yourself now and again. Happy Mama= happy baby
don’t give up on getting them to sleep in their crib…they WILL get used to it
always keep extra tylenol or advil never know when fever still start
Don’t bathe your baby every night. It could dry out their skin.
Leave a nursing tank near the crib so your baby smells you and feels comforted at night.
Keep smiling!
Make baths FAST!
Always have the wipes ready before starting to change a baby!

Always pack extra wipes and a change of clothes
Use cornstarch when changing diapers
You don’t need a wipes warmer or a diaper genie… Save your money!
Make sure you use wipes with some sort of ridge or groove in them helps get dried poop off of babies but without irritating skin.
Earth Mama Angel Baby Baby Bottom Balm is amazing. 🙂
This can save money on buying face/hand wipes
Wipes arent just used for the butt 🙂
These are WONDERFUL especially after meal time 😉
Baby wipes also get out deodorant stains from shirts.
Muslim swaddling blankets, hands down a must have baby item!
We use cream on my grandaughter with each soiled diaper change and she has never had any rump rash or irritation.
breast feeding is always good for babies
Don’t think that babies have to be perfectly clean at all times – too much cleaning can be just as bad; drying their skin, making diaper rash worse with over-cleaning, etc.
trying a different diaper may help with diaper rash. we started using one brand and switched after my baby’s bottom got a pretty good diaper rash; the rash started to clear up with the new diaper.
Always carry baby wipes and extra clothes.
